Reunions for Every Budget
No-Cost:
Choose a free location--try a picnic shelter area in the park, gather at the beach, or have a backyard get-together. Make it a potluck and ask everyone to bring games.
Low-Cost:
Reserve a campsite or other community space. Hire entertainment for the kids. Rent a karaoke set up or a DJ.
Splurge:
Pick a travel destination (amusement park, big city, secluded getaway, spa or resort) that appeals to family members and book a group package for a weekend stay.
Invitations, Keepsakes, and Activities

- Have special T-shirts or key chains made to celebrate the day.
- Ask family members to mail photos for a commemorative album.
- Assign a few family members to take pictures with a digital camera. Place photos on a free exchange website or create your own family website.
